    I’m in awe people are still crying about this. The Liverpool decision last night was worse and the man United decision was about on par and everyone has moved on.

      True, because other decisions were worse we should ignore all other injustices. We should also just move on and then complain about the same stuff next week when more bad decisions happen. Nothings going to change if people don’t keep talking about it.

      Arsenal fans are the softest fan base in all of football. I honestly don’t get how they watch the game and find enjoyment out of it.

      It’s being reposted by a United fan, only difference is this is now in a neat little graphic instead of the full report.

      Right?

      Like this doesn’t even rate in the top 5 most atrocious games for reffing this season.

      For me, I think it’s because people can’t even admit that Arsenal got fucked over that match. There are still people who think the goal was fair.

      Then there’s stories of PGMOL making sure pundits cover the referees

        If Harvetz is sent off like he should of been either for the tackle they reviewed or the other late tackle that should have been a second yellow, then the game is probably very different.

      Man I am crying about all of it. I don’t care if it was UEFA, the Rashford Red Card was fucking atrocious. I didn’t see the Liverpool call but I also cried about the abysmal communication that disallowed Liverpool’s goal against Tottenham too. And I will cry when any team is fucked over by the refs. Refs are making headlines more than players are, and that is a problem.

      I think it’s the fact that there are 3 controversial incidents in one game and within one of those incidents 3 controversial calls were made.

      Add to that the aggrieved parties manager called out the refereeing organisation.

      Arsenal have the most batshit conspiracy theory crazy fanbase on the internet, they are either 10yr olds or have the mental capacity of 10yr olds. it’s hilarious how triggered they got over a correct decision this week. They’ve become the new banter FC, been some incredible takes. Been fun to watch the state of some of it

    Are they actually an independent panel. I get why technically they could be “independent” but aren’t they all just former refs and pgmol members?

    If that’s not a foul, every single game from now on Arsenal should just start by floating crosses to the back post and blatantly push defenders down. There’s no need to be sly about it, make it the most obvious pushes.

    Arsenal get on with it. Proper embarrassed yourself. There’s been 19 worse calls this season. It all evens out. You will never get perfection. How did everybody survive without VAR?

    Reminds me of when police investigate their own department and say they found non wrongdoing.

    Not mention of callum Wilson choking Gabriel and assaulting him? Even when they try to correct themselves, laughable

    Why don’t they show the part of the Kai tackle that actually contacted the player? You know, the top of the trailing foot that wasn’t studs up.

    Joelinto absolutely fouled Gabriel though, as in there’s no doubt about that, there might be a question about whether Gabriel could actually get to the ball regardless of the foul and that actually is potentially relevant to whether a foul should be given. It’s also an interesting thing to think about, at what point is a foul not relevant to the outcome?

    The problem now is that all this shit is out in the open and the language used to justify decisions is bizarre. In the past this was all background stuff, you’d get pissed off for a bit and then move on because the refs didn’t say shit. Now they come out and tell you ’ this obvious foul isn’t a foul because technical language that’s nonsensical '.

    Everything about var and around VAR is dissatisfying.

    No, you don’t understand, every one with a functioning brain must think that Arsenal got robbed, that the Saudis are behind the conspiracy of match fixing and that the VAR decision should have been viewed by Arsenal fans to ensure that there are no bias against Arsenal coming from possible Newcastle, Chelsea, Spurs, and City fans.

    No one cares about what some pundits think, they don’t have jurisdiction and make decisions regarding officiating.

    We just want consistency and quality referees. But that won’t happen for a while.

    Why is this being discussed 6 days after the game? It’s just Sky trying to squeeze out every bit of content possible from the ref decisions and not the actual football. Ref across the league this year have been poor in general and especially in this one. But I’m over this game, can we just let it die?
